- Instead of setting the suffixes in a bunch of places, just set one master
list in the top-level config. We now only modify the suffix list in a few
suites that have one particular unique suffix (.ml, .mc, .yaml, .td, .py).
- Aside from removing the need for a bunch of lit.local.cfg files, this enables
4 tests that were inadvertently being skipped (one in
Transforms/BranchFolding, a .s file each in DebugInfo/AArch64 and
CodeGen/PowerPC, and one in CodeGen/SI which is now failing and has been
XFAILED).
- This commit also fixes a bunch of config files to use config.root instead of
older copy-pasted code.

Also avoid locals evicting locals just because they want a cheaper register.
Problem: MI Sched knows exactly how many registers we have and assumes
they can be colored. In cases where we have large blocks, usually from
unrolled loops, greedy coloring fails. This is a source of
"regressions" from the MI Scheduler on x86. I noticed this issue on
x86 where we have long chains of two-address defs in the same live
range. It's easy to see this in matrix multiplication benchmarks like
IRSmk and even the unit test misched-matmul.ll.
A fundamental difference between the LLVM register allocator and
conventional graph coloring is that in our model a live range can't
discover its neighbors, it can only verify its neighbors. That's why
we initially went for greedy coloring and added eviction to deal with
the hard cases. However, for singly defined and two-address live
ranges, we can optimally color without visiting neighbors simply by
processing the live ranges in instruction order.
Other beneficial side effects:
It is much easier to understand and debug regalloc for large blocks
when the live ranges are allocated in order. Yes, global allocation is
still very confusing, but it's nice to be able to comprehend what
happened locally.
Heuristics could be added to bias register assignment based on
instruction locality (think late register pairing, banks...).
Intuituvely this will make some test cases that are on the threshold
of register pressure more stable.

Handle chains in which the same offset is used for both loads and
stores to the same array.

and allow some optimizations to turn conditional branches into unconditional.
This commit adds a simple control-flow optimization which merges two consecutive
basic blocks which are connected by a single edge. This allows the codegen to
operate on larger basic blocks.

* Removed test/lib/llvm.exp - it is no longer needed
* Deleted the dg.exp reading code from test/lit.cfg. There are no dg.exp files
left in the test suite so this code is no longer required. test/lit.cfg is
now much shorter and clearer
* Removed a lot of duplicate code in lit.local.cfg files that need access to
the root configuration, by adding a "root" attribute to the TestingConfig
object. This attribute is dynamically computed to provide the same
information as was previously provided by the custom getRoot functions.
* Documented the config.root attribute in docs/CommandGuide/lit.pod

These heuristics are sufficient for enabling IV chains by
default. Performance analysis has been done for i386, x86_64, and
thumbv7. The optimization is rarely important, but can significantly
speed up certain cases by eliminating spill code within the
loop. Unrolled loops are prime candidates for IV chains. In many
cases, the final code could still be improved with more target
specific optimization following LSR. The goal of this feature is for
LSR to make the best choice of induction variables.
Instruction selection may not completely take advantage of this
feature yet. As a result, there could be cases of slight code size
increase.
Code size can be worse on x86 because it doesn't support postincrement
addressing. In fact, when chains are formed, you may see redundant
address plus stride addition in the addressing mode. GenerateIVChains
tries to compensate for the common cases.
On ARM, code size increase can be mitigated by using postincrement
addressing, but downstream codegen currently misses some opportunities.
